On the evening of April 6, Beijing time, the 33-year-old former German international Marin, in an interview with the German authoritative media "Kicker", confirmed that he would officially retire at the end of this season. After retiring, Marin will join the management of former owner Red Star Belgrade as technical director.
Born in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1989, Marin plays as a forward or winger, and although he is only 1.7 meters tall, Marin is delicate in his skills and has a strong ability to break through with the ball. Coupled with the fact that Marin looks similar to Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, it is quite similar. He was also dubbed "Messi of Germany" by fans and the media.
Marin debuted at the Bundesliga powerhouse Frankfurt Academy, and his career was highest in Bremen, with his excellent performance in Bremen, Marin made his debut for the German men's national football team at the age of 19, and in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Marin represented the German men's national team. In his international career, Marin made 16 appearances, scoring 1 goal and giving 3 assists.
Unfortunately, since leaving Bremen to join Chelsea in the Premier League, Marin's career has begun to turn from prosperity to decline. After being depressed at Stamford Bridge, he played for Sevilla, Fiorentina, Red Star Belgrade and other teams, but did not regain his peak posture. This season he played for Hungarian side Ferencvaros, playing in 13 games, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist.
Since November 2010, marin has not been selected for the national team for more than 11 years. Now at the age of 33, he chose to retire early, and this talented former rising star is destined to be another "injured Zhongyong" tragic figure in German football.
